曲：Nobody Else - Take That
a song that always hits me in the heart. my mom loved take that, and so she used to play their cds on the weekends when she was cleaing the house. i love the chorus of this song, because it makes me believe that it's true. =) simple lyrics, nothing bombastic, but still it hits you.
the days are rushing by, and we're less than two weeks to the end of the year. next year's going to be packed with exams, trips, projects and japanese classes. it's going to be the year i turn twenty. 2006 has been a year of unbelievable happiness, but also a year of wrenching sadness. it was a year where i learned so much, and learned how to appreciate the people i have around me. 2006 is the year i found out that the extent you could care for someone could scare you, and how much people cared for me. reviving old acquaintances, making new friends. 心痛有多震憾，自己体验过才懂。
christmas service at the m club was inspiring. christmas carols with friends makes it all the more meaningful. reminds me of the annual christmas parties at my aunt's place when i was young, the cousins all gathered around the tree...
yup, perhaps christmas has never hit me the way it hits me this year. i just want to gather friends and family around me, and tell them how much they mean to me. maybe that's why even santa at the club meant so much to me. maybe that's why the smiles from the kids at the visually impaired school touched me. maybe that's why i got so high when i saw the choir enjoying themselves. during the dinner, this girl went up to santa and hugged him really tightly for at least a minute. i was affected, by the faith of the girl.
christmas is a beautiful season, really.
velda.
